Re: [newbie] why I can't insert a new OS in my LILO menu ??
I suggest you model yours after mine, making the necessary adjustments. The syntax is not that hard to understand. Once you have updated your lilo.conf, post it here. Note, the append line will be completely different for you, so I suggest you skip these lines in your file. append=failsafe is required if you want to boot into failsafe, however. It works John !!!

flavio, if you have done fdisk /dev/hdd and confirmed that windows is indeed on the first parttition on that disk and that it does have the number 1 - not necessarily the same thing! then i suggest that lilo is choking ion your other entries, perhaps those other entries regarding /dev/hdd1? bascule image=/dev/hdd1 root=/dev/hdc6 image=/dev/hdd1 root=/dev/hdc6 image=/dev/hdd1 root=/dev/hdc6 other=dev/hdd1 label=windows table=/dev/hdd map-drive=0x80 to=0x81 map-drive=0x81 to=0x80 -- `Credit?' he said. `Aaaargggh...'

let me put it up top so Flavio might see it I guess it means you better post your /etc/lilo.conf cause you don't have the right hdyx (here y is a letter for the drive position on the ide bus, and the x is a number for a partition. your error might be any part of /etc/lilo.conf, so post the whole thing.

It worked for me. I installed Linux 9.0 on a brand new 60 gig HD then slaved my old 40 gig Win98 drive to that one, pointed Lilo to it and it booted just fine. My Win drive has since crashed altogether so I am totally Linux now.
